Grob 103 front pedal adjustment cable

[Bob McKellar]

The cable that allows adjustment of the front pedals in our club 103 Twin II
Acro has broken off at the panel, making moving the pedals awkward.
Where should we be looking for such a specific repair item?

Thanks!

The US Grob rep is now at Moriarty. Roger Mudd.
Is it the "cable"? Or is it the stiff rod that pokes through the panel with the knob?
The cable should be a standard aircraft cable.
The rod may need to be ordered or suitably substituted and accepted by an IA or DAR.

That's ROBERT Mudd. Roger is the one on TV.

This just happened to my club's Twin II Acro as well! Lindner has the part fortunately.

Good thing they do have it as it consists of a solid wire with swaged threaded end fittings riding in a nylon tube unlike the simple cable used by most gliders which would be easy to make! Typical Grob engineering - if someone else has come up with a simple, efficient, inexpensive, reliable way of doing something and it has become almost universal you can rely on them to devise a unique oddball solution to the same problem. I've never got over seeing how the main gear mechanism on our Twin Astir works!
